What are the IMAP Settings of Yahoo Mail ?

-

With IMAP, you can use any email client, including Outlook, Gmail and Mozilla Thunderbird, to send and receive email from Yahoo. In this guide you will learn how to set it up.

What’s the IMAP Setting for Yahoo Mail?

Open the New Account section of the program & enter following settings to seamlessly access Yahoo Mail from an email program:

  • IMAP Server:    imap.mail.yahoo.com

  • IMAP port:    993

  • IMAP TLS/SSL:    Yes

  • IMAP username:    Your full Yahoo mail address

  • IMAP password:    Your normal password or app password

What’s the SMTP Setting for Yahoo Mail?

These are the following settings for SMTP server:

  • SMTP server:    smtp.mail.yahoo.com

  • SMTP port:    465 (alternatively try 587)

  • SMTP TLS/SSL:    yes

  • SMTP Username:    Your full Yahoo mail address

  • SMTP Password:    Your Yahoo Mail password

What is the Yahoo Mail App Password ?

It supports app passwords. When you set up two-factor authentication, these one-time passwords allow a specific program to access your Yahoo Mail account without requiring you to use your account password.

It is not uncommon to experience account access issues. This happens when a user forgets that they have set up their account with two-factor authentication. When you set up two-factor authentication, sign in to your Yahoo account to generate an app password for each computer or mobile device you use for email.

Via IMAP, SMTP and POP

IMAP regulates the receipt and display of messages. SMTP regulates the sending of outgoing messages. If you configure IMAP, you must also configure SMTP.

Yahoo Mail also supports POP. Post Office Protocol (POP) is an older email standard that regulates the receipt of messages.

Tip: By default, POP deletes messages from the server after they have been downloaded to your email client so avoid using it if possible. This means that the messages are only available on the device they were downloaded to. In contrast, IMAP syncs messages with the server. So if you use three devices to connect to your Yahoo Mail account, all three will display the same messages.

Mostly important Windows system files reside in system32. The most common types of files in this directory are DLL (dynamic link library) and EXE (executable) files.
